Stress is part of everyday life for babies and young children that can have negative impacts if toxic. After reviewing the Unit 8 Readings and Resources, respond to the following in your initial post. Pay particular attention to the high-quality classrooms you observed in “No Small Matter” to address the following: 

• List examples of signs a young child may exhibit as a result of stress.
• Describe an example of a young child who experienced stress. Your example can be an experience from an ECE setting, one that you experienced as a child, or an experience you have heard of. Please maintain privacy in your example by using fictitious names and places of employment, if appropriate.
• How did you or how would you help the child in your example cope? What connections do you see to the Strengthening Families Protective Factors? If this is a personal childhood experience, did someone take steps to help you cope? If yes, what were those steps and if not, what would have helped you cope?
